Getting started

Installation

The new .NET Core version is entirely configured via the command line. The launcher script and configuration files are gone, as well as the in-place update feature. Updates are now retrieved by simply pulling the latest image from the hub.

Please adapt the UID, GID and GIDLIST values to match the owner of your media files. GIDLIST is also useful to grant access to VAAPI render nodes.

Upgrade

The command used to install should also be used to upgrade:

docker pull emby/embyserver:latest

VAAPI

Emby now comes with a VAAPI-enabled ffmpeg out of the box on Intel platforms with HD graphics. For VAAPI to work, emby needs access to a render node, usually /dev/dri/renderD128. On most modern distros, this render node belongs to the video group. All you need to do is mount the render node and add the video group GID to the GIDLIST variable as described above.
